Visual observations (z fighting, transparency, and clouds near poles) #2

I guess these issues are already known issues, but posting them anyway if it's helpful!

  1. "Z fighting" of Earth texture when we zoom out of the atmosphere Timestamp : https://youtu.be/Rw-HLH9q4DY?t=8

  2. When we zoom out even more, the Planet texture disappears, and planet becomes transparent (stars behind the planet are visible). Timestamp : https://youtu.be/Rw-HLH9q4DY?t=20

  3. Near the poles, the volumetric clouds appear to be more choppy and pixelated (not sure if that's the correct term). FPS also drops near the poles. Timestamp : https://youtu.be/Rw-HLH9q4DY?t=49 PS : Clouds are totally fine away from poles.

System Specifications : Nvidia GTX 1650 (Driver version 512.77)
i5 9300H 512GB SSD Version : Orbiter Skybolt Client 1.0.2 Win64

Thanks for the issue report. I'll put it on my list of things to fix. I plan to make some improvements to the clouds which should solve issues 2 and 3.
